not important at all

Nothing really new to report on. The meet at Mizzou went great on friday night...we had a bunch of kids set some new school records. After a late dinner there was a group of us who did not get to bed until late, which sucked. The next day did not have a great start, as the times were slow. We had a girl run pretty well in the 400m, and I believe that when she runs a smart race, she is going to run pretty fast. Shortly after her race, it started to pour, and the meet had a 2 hour rain delay. Totally sucked balls, but what can you do?? I guess god didn't like track and field on saturday.


The training has been going well. Last week in only 4 days of riding I equalled my best week of the year in terms of milage. This week was off to a great start, until yesterday when I decided to take the day off. I was just too tired and really not in the mood to ride. I know that kind of attitude isn't good, but I needed some rest. So I went home and watched a couple of episodes of American Chopper. Talk about a great show!!! I watched a lot of it when I was living in Emporia, but then I pretty much stopped watching it when I moved back to utah. My brother got me the first 3 seasons on dvd, so I've been watching it lately. The no commercial thing is great. I'm hoping the weather holds off today, so I can get a workout it. I plan on changing the stimulus a little today. The planned workout it the following:

10-15 minutes warm up
4 x Tamm Hill HR @ 170
4 x 1:30 efforts HR @ 165-175
2 x 2 Mile loop (w/in forest park)
30 minutes cool down.

This should be close to 1:45 of riding which will be a good workout. This is the type of stuff that will make you fast, or at least make me fast. Even though the results haven't been so great this year, my confidence is very high. I'm really looking forward to Joe Martin. I'll probably take a couple days off just knowing that I tend to hit a rut at the beginning of May, but then again, I've never had this kind of base on me before either...we shall see!!!
